Associate Curator of European Art Joe Cocktail, is having a bad week. His boss just bought a forged painting and Joe’s got all the top brass at the museum on his back for bringing the fact to their attention. Now, with the 100th Anniversary Gala for the museum just a week away the museum’s universally disliked Director is making everyone’s life miserable and to top it all off Joe’s office is vandalized. With the help of some old friends and some new friends, and the prospect of an exciting new job, Joe just might be able to discover what’s going on behind the scenes at the art museum.
